Now Viewing: urban_legendTag type: General A modern form of folklore, consisting of fictitious stories, often believed to be true, passed around by word of mouth, chain letters or emails, or websites such as Futaba_Channel (2chan). These stories are set in our contemporary world and frequently describe unexplainable or unusual events, reflect broad societal fears around e.g. crime and sex, and often feature a twist ending. Urban legends may confirm moral standards, reflect prejudices, or be a way to make sense of societal anxieties.
